"Can't Help Falling In Love"
Words and Music by GEORGE DAVID WEISS,
HUGO PERETTI and LUIGI CREATORE

Alan talks about "Can't Help Falling In Love With You"


"'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You' is a song I loved ever since I first heard Elvis sing it, but I knew it was last because the order of tunes had already been set.

"And I knew it was the last tune on the album, and I realized that, well, most old movies have a big ending and all he tunes up until that point just kind of gently faded away.

"I thought, 'Well here's my chance to be cinematic.' So I wrote this huge big ending... kind of reminiscent of like the 20th Century Fox themes, and I thought that would be a good way to close the album. So I did."



Neil sings "Can't Help Falling In Love With You"



Wise men say
only fools rush in,
but I can't help
falling in love with you.

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help
falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
surely to the sea,
darling, so it goes
some things are meant to be.

Take my hand,
take my whole life too.
For I can't help
falling in love with you.

Like a river flows
surely to the sea,
darling, so it goes
some things are meant to be.

Take my hand,
take my whole life too.
For I can't help
falling in love with you.


"Ladies and Gentlemen,

"Neil and I would like to thank you 
for a very nice
day.

"Good afternoon."
